Don't climb on wet rock! Sandstone is a porous rock type that can absorb a lot of water. It can lose up to 75% of its strength while wet, making it easy to snap off holds and irreparably damage classic climbs. Wait 48 to 72hrs after precipitation. If the ground is still damp then the rock is still wet. A great way to check for precipitation history before traveling to Joe's is to go to this site-
climate.usu.edu/mchd/dashbo…
and under "Data Charts" click the "Precipitation" tab. Make sure the surface wetness is 0 before climbing.
Description
This problem starts sitting with both hands in the big pocket. Reach up and get established with the right hand gripping the small pillar/pocket. Getting established in order to throw for the large pocket way up and left can be quite tricky. Throw big! From there grab the humungous horizontal pocket and reach over the top for a very interesting topout!
The sit start was rated V6 and the stand a V5.
